It has become as debated as the issue of whether Leonardo DiCaprio should have won an Oscar by now or not.

And two days after the GQ Awards, the public are still mocking the magazine’s decision to present Tony Blair with the GQ philanthropist award.

Now some prankster has put one of the awards up for sale on Ebay, claiming it’s ‘in near perfect condition (there is a small stain on the back as it was handled by someone with blood on their hands).’

This is of course a reference to the former Labour prime minister having ‘blood on his hands’ due to the war in Iraq.

The faux award’s description states: ‘A fantastic opportunity to buy this rare and highly collectible GQ 'Men Of The Year 2014' award.’

The listing, which prices it at a reasonable £500, continues: ‘This will really sex up your mantlepiece! Can be delivered in as little as 45 minutes.

We wonder if he will see the funny side

‘It comes free-standing as we had problems with it's display rack. We have made a rack enquiry, but nothing came of it.’

It currently has no bids.

On Tuesday evening stunned silence filled the GQ Men Of The Year Awards hall as the former leader accepted a "jaw dropping" philanthropist of the year award on Tuesday night.

Blair told the crowd: “I would like to dedicate this award to the people that work with and for my organisations. I feel the pulse of progress beating a little harder.”

But Labour MP John Mann said shortly after: "It sends the wrong message. This sort of award should go to an unsung hero who has given up their time for charity."

Meanwhile Tory MP Charlie Elphicke reportedly added: "It is jaw dropping that he should be given this award given his involvement in spinning the alleged brutal massacre in Kazakhstan.

"People will be greatly concerned and wonder if this was the right decision."

Other celebrities took to social media to express their shock, with Gary Lineker writing: "Apparently Tony Blair has won GQ's philanthropist of the year award. Finally these awards have grasped irony!"

The tribute to Blair on the GQ website said: "In 2007 Tony Blair stepped down as prime minister, but his surging momentum’s shown no signs of slowing.

"Alongside his role as a Middle East peace envoy, Blair’s channelled his energy into philanthropy, establishing three charities.

"The Tony Blair Sports Foundation pairs volunteer sport coaches with children in Britain’s North East and his Faith Foundation aims to reconcile the three Abrahamic faiths, but his most ambitious is the Tony Blair Africa Governance Initiative.

"Launched in 2008, the foundation operates in six African countries – Sierra Leone, Rwanda Liberia, Guinea, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Senegal – where teams work alongside government bodies to bridge the gap between African leaders’ visions for a better future and their government’s ability to implement it."
